    When Jess was born, DH was an internal auditor with a job that had massive travel committments. He was able to arrange to have 4 weeks off when Jess was born, but his first assignment after paternity leave (which wasn't leave at all but rather all of his accumulated vacation time)? Four-straight-weeks in Nigeria. It was even supposed to be a five week assignment, but it got chopped back to four when he got there. We were very WTF? when DH got that news.

        my parents came over. They arrived 10 days after Anthony left, and staggered their visit so that I had someone around for the rest of the time DH was away.

        However, it must be said that I was on my own with only one baby; I could basically live around Jess's schedule. I couldn't imagine doing it with two like you!

        But yeah, it was pretty sucky. We were so glad when he finished that job! So I empathise a lot with what you two are going through!
